We, the Sociology faculty, are excited by the fact that sociology and anthropology are the only two fields that study human endeavor that encompass the whole gamut of human activity, from face-to-face interaction and small groups to international relations among nations and global trade,  from the simplest to the most complex societies. This enables us to examine and understand the context of the parts that are the subjects of other human sciences (political science, economics, communication) and how these fit together.  We have been teaching and doing research in sociology and anthropology for a collective career total of nearly 200 years.
